SAP S/4HANA is interesting for you if ...
- ... you want to build a modern ERP system architecture in the cloud that will enable you to increase the efficiency and speed of your company.
- ... you want to implement and use end-to-end processes and analyses in real time.
- ... you want to benefit from SAP's standard processes, which are available plug and play for numerous sectors and industries.
- ... you want a modern user interface that allows your users to work faster and more easily, regardless of the device.
Are you aware of these challenges?
Your outdated ERP system is slowing your company down. Many workflows and processes are too slow and not automated. This makes it impossible to react quickly to market requirements and changes.
Maintaining and servicing your existing ERP and IT system landscape is very time-consuming, ties up valuable IT resources and drives up operating costs. How can this problem finally be solved?
Informed decisions are difficult because inefficient data silos within the Group hinder your analyses and make it difficult to access important insights. You can only dream of real-time analysis and forecasting.
You want to grow, but your distributed and heterogeneous systems hinder scalability. Adapting to the requirements of new markets and tapping into new markets is hardly possible for your company.
Your path to SAP S/4HANA
SAP S/4HANA is a new world.
With SAP's integrated solution, companies can manage, connect, control and analyze all processes and resources even better and faster.
Properly understood, SAP S/4HANA is not just a technical update of existing systems. Rather, SAP S/4HANA is a strategic opportunity to realign your company's entire business model, in particular
- by building a digital system architecture,
- through the use of modern cloud solutions,
- through new analysis options,
- through more easily scalable processes or even
- through the use of artificial intelligence.
Examples: How SAP S/4HANA benefits companies in practice!
A multinational corporation...
- ... uses SAP S/4HANA to automate and accelerate the financial closing process.
- All financial transactions are now recorded in real time, enabling the immediate reconciliation of general ledgers and sub-ledgers.

A consumer goods manufacturer ...
- ... monitors its supply chain in real time with SAP S/4HANA.
- The company continuously monitors the status of raw material deliveries and production progress.

5-point checklist: Migration to SAP S/4HANA in day-to-day business
The migration to SAP S/4HANA is a time-consuming and complex project.
This applies to the technical implementation, to the often large number of users and to the budget and time planning.
Every changeover must take place in parallel with ongoing operations - and without becoming a burden on day-to-day business.
To ensure that the changeover goes as smoothly as possible for your company, we recommend that you consider the following aspects, among others:
- Prepare your organization! Projects of this size must be well prepared in terms of the scheduling of all participants and users, and planned changes must be well communicated.
- Test extensively before the go-live! Ideally, all future user groups should already be involved in these tests and all future applications and processes should be run through.
- Use the expertise and experience of external partners! External consultants can support companies in many ways: for example, with regard to the optimization or transformation of existing business processes or the introduction of new business models.
- Appoint an expert and manager to manage the project! Unclear responsibilities, a lack of trust in the management by those involved or communication problems can quickly prove to be a stumbling block for the entire process.
- Don't calculate time and budget too tightly! As unforeseen events or errors can always occur in such a large project, you need a time and financial buffer.
SAP S/4HANA: Suitable methodologies and tools for implementation
SAP supports companies with various tools and methodologies when converting to SAP S/4HANA:
- from analysis tools such as the SAP Readiness Check
- project management methodologies such as SAP Activate
- to tools for analyzing processes such as SAP Signavio,
- solutions for planning the architecture such as LeanIX or
- migration tools such as SAP Data Migration Cockpit.
These tools and methods are used to structure projects into individual, easier-to-understand steps, analyze processes and facilitate data migration. In addition, there are various support tools and simulations in a test environment.
SAP Activate, for example, is a methodical approach that allows SAP S/4HANA to be introduced quickly and efficiently. The solution is based on a standardized environment and consists of three parts or “cornerstones”.
The Activate approach includes
- Best practices for business processes (content),
- a guided configuration and
- the methodology for implementation with agile approaches in the core phases of the project (Methodology).
